Wexford Farm Solicitor

The Model County earned its name from its farming, and it is still earned: Wexford\u2019s tillage and mixed farms on the sunny south-east corner of Ireland - which is exactly why solar developers have made Wexford one of the most heavily optioned counties in the country.

Farming in County Wexford

Wexford grows: malting barley, wheat and beans across the tillage heartlands around Enniscorthy, Taghmon and Bridgetown; early potatoes and vegetables on the warm coastal ground; soft fruit around Wellingtonbridge and the south; and strong dairy and beef throughout, trading through Enniscorthy and New Ross marts. Ireland’s sunniest corner farms intensively and well.

That sunshine now has a second market. Wexford’s solar resource and grid access have brought developers to farm kitchens across the county, and option agreements over Wexford tillage ground are among the most common renewable instruments we see. They are also the documents where landowners give away the most, earliest - the annexed lease deserves negotiation before the option is signed, and its interaction with the family’s succession and relief planning belongs in that negotiation.

Beneath the solar layer, the classic Model County work continues: tillage successions where machinery and entitlements carry real value alongside the land, dairy expansions formalised late, and an active land market where pre-auction title review protects buyers at strong south-east prices.

📍 The South-East From Two Offices

Our Kilkenny office at 2 Rose Inn Street serves Wexford directly via New Ross and Enniscorthy, with Dublin covering the north of the county via the M11. Most matters progress by phone and email around harvest and drilling.
